Trying to pull in the Events Calendar Pro Cat Name

[Kari Acker]

HI, Im running a simple query to show the latest event from the events cal pro plugin. Right now I have it pulling in the link, title and featured image.

I can not for the life of me figure out how to have it pull in its custom taxonomy associated with that event.

		<div class="small-12 medium-6 large-4 columns">
			<?php $events = tribe_get_events( array('posts_per_page' => 1, 'orderby' => 'meta_value', 'order' => 'DESC') );
				foreach ( $events as $event ) { ?>
					<p class="home-cat"><?php echo tribe_get_event_cat_slugs( $post_id ) ?></p>
					<a href="<?php echo tribe_get_event_link( $event->ID ) ?>"><?php echo tribe_event_featured_image( $event->ID, 'home-blog', true ); ?></a>
					<div class="home-news-content clearfix">
						<a href="<?php echo tribe_get_event_link( $event->ID ) ?>"><h2><?php echo $event->post_title; ?></h2></a>
						<p><?php echo $event->post_excerpt; ?></p>
						<a class="home-read-more" href="<?php echo tribe_get_event_link( $event->ID ) ?>">Read More</a>
					</div>
			<?php wp_reset_postdata(); } ?>
		</div>

Hello, Kari!

Thank you for using The Events Calendar! I can help with this ?

The easiest way to get the custom taxonomy for an event is to use the WordPress function ‘get_the_terms()’. I added it to your code to test, you can see the results in this gist.

Does this help answer your question? Let me know how it goes!
